Intro: Esus2      F#m7/E 

Verse:
 
Esus2		   F#m7/E 
There she sits her hands are held 
		   E 
Tight around her glass 
Esus2	          F#m7/E 
She only needs to be alone 
			  E     E/D# 
She knows this mood will pass 
C#m6		B 
To realize that she was strong 
    Bm		   F# 
And he too weak to stay 
	   Bm      Bm/A    C		   D 
And to realize that she is better off this way 

 

[Refrão]
      A	             A/G 
Brief candles in her mind 
	   D/F#		F     E 
Bright and tiny gems of memory 
      A		     A/G 
Brief candles burn so fine 
	 D/F#		    F	    E 
Leaves a light inside where she can see 
      D			 A 
What makes it all worthwhile 
     D		       B 
Her sadness makes her smile... 


Esus2		F#m7/E 
His alone girl fades away 
		E 
Left out on a limb 
Esus2		    F#m7/E 
Finds he needs her more because 
			E     E/D# 
She's no more need for him 
C#m6		  B 
He understood so very well 
    Bm		       F# 
The things she had to say 
		  Bm   	  Bm/A    C		  D 
Soon he'll understand that he is better off this way 


[Refrão]
  
Brief candles in his mind 
Bright and tiny gems of memory 
Brief candles burn so fine 
Leaves a light inside where he can see 
What makes it all worthwhile 
His sadness makes him smile...

Esus2	       F#m7/E 
In the corner see his face 
			E 
The man just sips his drink 
Esus2		 F#m7/E 
Not one feeling does he show  
		 E     E/D#	 
Far too numb to think 
   C#m6		  B 
He does not say a single word 
    Bm		   F# 
No word of love to say 
	      Bm      Bm/A       C		D 
Maybe he will soon believe he's better off this way...

Brief candles in his mind 
Bright and tiny gems of memory

Leaves a light inside where he can see 
What makes it all worthwhile 
His sadness makes him smile...
